12 Robes You Could *Totally* Wear Outside Your Bedroom
As you slip into full-on hibernation mode (winter’s not going anywhere, people!), nothing says lazy girl guide to dressing more than a comfy, oversized layer that you can live in. Besides the obvious prospects, like a chunky cardigan or hoodie, there are always alternatives to switch up the way you cover + cuddle up. Capes are a long-time fave, but this winter, it’s all about the robe. The trusty weekend layer is making a major move from the back of your bathroom door to front and center in your cold-weather wardrobe as the most unexpected way to keep you warm in a T-shirt and jeans, or even as a sub for your go-to sweater dress. From sultry, lingerie-esque statement pieces to robe-turned-overcoats in disguise, look no further for robes that you can wear IRL. ‘Cause who says you have to forfeit style for comfort? Not us.
